Prepare to get political, as Positech Games have brought their political strategy game, Democracy 3, onto the iPad. Democracy 3 allows players to become the ruler of a country, giving them the power to fully control political policies and take the country in any direction they want to.

Annoy them enough and you may get voted out at the next election - if you manage to survive that long, that is.
